Don't force a TLB flush when an SPTE update in the shadow MMU happens to clear the Dirty bit, as KVM unconditionally flushes TLBs when enabling dirty logging, and when clearing dirty logs, KVM flushes based on its software structures, not the SPTEs. I.e. the flows that care about accurate Dirty bit information already ensure there are no stale TLB entries. Opportunistically drop is_dirty_spte() as mmu_spte_update() was the sole caller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
